maemo.org - Talk - Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

If they would only have the US Version up as well :(
But I guess their server would completely collaps at that time. Let's hope it's coming
soon.
And THUMBS UP to sygic not waiting for Ovi any longer.

I am happy to know the application is out finally, but a bit sad since bypassing Ovi Store is not good for the future of Maemo.... And it seems it will take a lot more time to get paid content....

I thought it was mentioned here there would be a trial version?

I already asked about this to Sygic technical support and they said the maps are different between Symbian and Maemo version.

Yes, a Sygic employee mentioned the trial at this same thread, but maybe their plans changed due to Ovi Store delays...

Nice! unfortunately it looks like Sygic's website is hosted on an IBM XT pc machine, with a whopping 128kb memory and connected to the internet with a 14400 bps modem, as the thing is CRAWLING slower than a snail...

On another note - does anyone knows if its possible to download and install the application itself, and download the map separately? Sygic's site doesn't specify any map for Israel, though I know it exist as its available for S60 phones in Israel...

Well, at least they upgraded! When I had an XT, it was on a 300 bps modem!

It was a proud day indeed when I got that Smokin' AT with the 2400 bps modem. I still get a little verklempt when I reminisce about it!

After the OVI maps debacle on the N900, I'm adopting a try before I buy attitude RE navigation SW.
